The Ghent Floralies are the result of years of commitment to professional growers who are faced with growing challenges. To continue to fascinate our visitors, but also as a trendsetter the Ghent Flower Show continues to evolve the existing and future horticultural trends.
The Ghent Floralies are also the time to exchange ideas to the issues of our industry, new insights, the results of entrepreneurship and to profile the sector towards the consumer.
During the Ghent Floralies 2010 we organise four afternoons, from April 15th to 22nd , in which we treat a number of current issues for different audiences.
On Thursday, April 15, 2010 at 15.00
A Floraliën FOCUS ON INNOVATIVE SECTOR is organized to our foreign participants, contacts to buyers and press. This afternoon 20 Flemish companies will present their innovations.
Floraliën FOCUS ON INNOVATIVE SECTOR takes place at the Holiday Inn hotel, located next to Flanders Expo, and consists of a presentation followed by a neat reception area where calls from person to person are created.
The themes are treated in Dutch but a multilingual booklet will be distributed.
